PPD interviews FAQs
Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PPD
Interview
This was four years ago, so I unfortunately don't remember the specifics. So now I have to fill in this space so that I meet the fifty word minimum requirement because glass door keeps asking me to fill out things so that I can get "unlimited access" when all I really wanted to fill out initially was a review, which I thought was very helpful, and should be sufficient to let those reading it know how the company functions.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PPD (Wayne, PA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Interview was related to STAR. All are behavioral questions. No skills questions. If you want to pass the interview, go to youtube and look for STAR interview. It helps a lot!
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PPD (Morrisville, NC) in Sep 2015
Interview
Was called about the position from a staffing co. Had a phone interview that went very well. Agreed to come in for an in-person interview. Was interviewed by 2 managers (pharmacist and RN). Pharmacist was very cordial and nice. RN tried to appear intimidating. Both asked about 6 questions each while writing down every word said. The process was entirely too long. I was able to shadow one of the consultants for 30 mins. Afterwards, I was walked out without so much a word about when I will hear one way or the other about their hiring decision. I knew then that I wasn't chosen for the job. From that day to the present, I have not heard from PPD nor the staffing company. So much about them exemplifying CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
